Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-methylbutanoic acid CAS 914635-99-7 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of 2-Bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-methylbutanoic acid (C5H6BrF3O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

2-Bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-methylbutanoic acid (CAS 914635-99-7), molecular formula C5H6BrF3O2 and molecular weight 235.00 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Bromo-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-methylbutanoic acid meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
